Hamidi is now considered damaged goods though. Employers are not excited about hiring someone who bitches about worker's rights. If you ask me, Intel got their money's worth in legal fees.
Of course, Hamidi took his career in his own hands when he pressed the Send button. I wonder if he's currently employed or bitter and still looking. If the latter, he might start sending bullets instead of e-mails.
IMHO, censorship is wrong, but there's nothing wrong with self-censorship.
Now, onto the real quesiton: How does it work?
I know they have filtering software for nudes that detects certain amount of flesh, so this can be applied to a moving picture. Then what would it do: skip past or blur?
But what about sexual sounds? Would it match against know grunts, growns, and screams? Would it get a false positive for Meg Ryan's scene in "When Harry Met Sally"?
Now violence is much more tricky. Would it go by sound mostly? It'd be some fancy software that could detect a violent scene visually.
However, you could go the predefined route where a censor creates a small file with timeframe information for each movie that would skip at certain points in time for a certain amount of time. The DVD player would have to download the small file from the Internet for each new movie.
High-Speed in English means that it's very fast. But what can be faster than Full-Speed? Anyone see Speed 2.0? Ships's fastest speed is Full-Speed! So, in a way, USB 2.0 Full-Speed is a lot like the movie Speed 2.0 in that it'll ram into a dock at Full-Speed!
Keeping your hands elevated as to keep the wrists horizontally flat is how I was taught to type in a typing class in high school. That was 26 years ago and I've been typing that was ever since without injury. I'm a computer programmer and type everyday.
Keep up the spidery thing.
Hey, I still wish the didn't do away with the two-column five-row F1-F10 configuration for keyboards. You always knew where your function keys where. WordPerfect users had it made!
This is how computer time was purchased on mainframes. I think they also had something akin to a smart terminal, now called a browser.
Hey, and I've heard of a new feature on telephones now. It allows you to avoid those annoying call-waiting interruptions. Instead it delivers a busy signal to interrupting caller to signal the phone is in use. Only $2.95 per month!

...And you wake up the next morning with kiddie porn on your computer and handcuffs on your wrists (unintentionally that is)! Entrap first and ask questions later.
I love the idea of taking my $1500.00 computer investment back to the future and sell it for millions. Face it, the hard drive would be useless without today's controllers. How much would the entire computer go for: P4 2.0 GHz, 1GB RAM, 75GB ATA100 Hard Drive, 128MB Video, 52x24x52 CD-RW back then?
But who would buy it for millions? Cray! DOD? Sorry, but spare parts are going to cost you extra pal!

I'll let him know. He's my brother-in-law.
His site does not mention the
destruction of personal computers.
Did he remove it?

And what do you do if you're leaving for a vacation this afternoon and you want to view the log when you come back?

Same here. I started at age 14, I'm almost 40, use standard keyboard my whole life, but also had formal typing course as a freshman in high school.
(And age 14 was when I discoved that Christy Brinkley had no tan lines and haven't had right wrist problems from that either.)
I've had color Borland Sidekick since the 80's.

I'd like to buy three t-shirts, but from the look of their discussion board they're not shipping. Is this because of legal problems?
You can tell who's in charge of marketing at CopyLeft.net: their discussion board is on the same page as the product purchase form.

Why would the CIA have a need for technology advancements? Cooking's old school.
